    I guess you didn't see my message on the other thread. Sign me up again and I think this time I will try for £6000 so going to aim for £500 per a month.

    I joined once before but never managed to keep up and ended up using all that I had saved. I promise to be better at it this time. I am going to aim for £5000.

    Thanks for running the thread SF.

    Spreadsheet updated :)

    Please make a note of your challenger number (see spreadsheet or first post) and put it in your sig - it makes it so much easier to update the spreadsheet! :)

    Oh I'm really pleased you're doing this again SF! I thought that with a new baby it would be a bit too much. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into it. It's helped me so much, it really has. I can't believe how much I've saved this year..


    I intend to finally buy my own place in 2016 so I may need to adjust my target but for now please sign me up for £12k.

    Please can I join again? 2015 was my first year, I'm not going to make my £6k target (pending a lottery win or a long lost aunt putting me in her will!) but I will try to make it next year!


    Thanks to SF for running these threads :)
